Arnold Schwarzenegger admits he finds it hard to stay in shape now he is in his 60s.
The 65-year-old actor returns to the big screen for the first time in eight years in action blockbuster 'The Expendables 2', and although he is still in incredible physical condition he is willing to acknowledge his body doesn't quite react in the way it used in his younger years.
The former Mr. Olympia body-building champion said: 'It is tougher as you get older. Your metabolism slows down. Your muscles don't respond in exactly the same way anymore. When you do action scenes and fight scenes and run around you take longer to recuperate, but so what? It doesn't matter. It's not like we don't get paid for it.'
However, Schwarzenegger insists he hasn't changed his fitness and strengthening regime at all, despite his advancing years, and he can still lift mammoth weights.
Speaking at a press conference in London to promote 'The Expendables 2', he told BANG Showbiz: 'I do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.'Referring to the only slight difference in his regime, he joked: 'I do the curls first now and the squats last.' :)
Schwarzenegger stars in the movie with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture - who all reprise their roles from the first film - while Jean-Claude Van Damme, Scott Adkins and Chuck Norris are also part of the impressive cast.

Needs to up the dose..

Allow me to doubt it......
I have spoken with people that used to work for him as far back 2001 (Collateral Damage) and at his house ...he eats oatmeal and tons of fruits at least for the past 10/12 years ......
The last time he was under the squat rack Reagan was president..... so go figure.
WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Everyone gets old. Everyone dies. For his age he looks good. Please don't put up a picture of some fool 65 year old juiced to the gills.

Just when you get your shit mentally together, your body starts going south. >:( ;D

I think old people should juice more than young people because when you are over 60 that is when you really need test and gh

Arnold lives of his reputation and name. I bet behind the scenes he wears plastic pants and needs someone to wipe his arse. Remember seeing on TV someone lurked around Larry Kings Bins and found his platic pants..think you yanks call them "Dypers"

Nice work, Al.

Arnold must be amazing if he still works out and eats like he did when he was a young man. I have lifted all my adult life and I know many other guys my age and older who have also consistently dedicated themselves to fitness and weight training. We all agree that we aren't as strong as we once were and that it takes longer for our bodies to recover from a good grueling workout. Most of us feel if we ate like we once did, we'd be big as houses and not in a good way. As one ages, our metabolism slows, there is no avoiding this. Moreover, like it or not, we don't look like we did when we were in our prime....neither does Arnold, despite what he believes.

Nice work, Al.
